Bennie Moten - Kansas City Shuffle (Original)

[MrOlderbrother]

this is the great music of my home town, Kansas City. My band is going to be playing at a place at 18th and Vine next Fri. night. I am so proud to be a part of this tradition, of this innovation. Bennie Moten, Jay McShann, Big Joe Turner, Count Basie, Mary Lou Williams, Charlie Parker, and my hero, Sonny Kenner, and countless others that have made this town the true musical crossroads that it is. God bless them all.

a year ago I ordered Osho's book: the empty boat, encounters with nothingness. it took amazon.com more than six months to deliver. i experienced a striking encounter with nothingness. wonderful. now, listening to this great piece, at 2:47 I had a repeated experience. I think I begin to get the idea.

I'm not too sure about the bit after 2:47... post-modern, I suppose?

Song stops at 2:46 cut the rest off bro.

Reminds me of the days in the 70s at UCLA. Just used to love smokin' pot and listening to Bennie, Cootie, Bix, Bing and the entire group of long gone geniuses on the old 78s. Knew a guy who had a great collection. Those records and his collection of EC Comix, God, I wish I could go back to those days. Too bad someone invented the piss test. Hi all from Baghdad!!!
